Tom,

The body tag is on the door jamb only until 1956 or so, and it is not used on every truck, as there are gaps in the 50s were the trucks got no body tags at all.

The tag Ron found is the smaller of the two tags with information about model number, VIN number etc on the back of the drivers side door jamb.

Look here in the 1963-66 section to see the tags:

It sounds like he either missread the number, or it was double stamped with one digit.

I have found double stamps on frames before, there is no reason why it would not happen on a tag.

Ron, the frame number on the truck should be on the passengers side near the front axle, picture attached.

I would check it to be sure, though they may have made the same mistake in both places.

Eric
